TASER International Reports Fourth Quarter Results
SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Feb 23, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ: TASR), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter of 2011 ended December 31, 2011.
Financial Summary:
-- Net sales were $21.3 million in the quarter, a decrease of $1.6
million or 7% compared to fourth quarter 2010 sales of $22.9 million.
However, demand for the Company's products remained strong having
received orders totaling $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011,
which will be recognized in the first quarter of 2012.
-- Net sales for the full year 2011 were $90.0 million, an increase of
$3.1 million when compared to 2010 net sales of $86.9 million. The
increase in net sales was primarily driven by the growing demand and
successful adoption of the TASER(R) X2(TM) electronic control
device (ECD).
-- The Company took a one-time $5.7 million charge during the fourth
quarter to reflect the write off of production tooling and excess
inventory for the TASER(R) X3(TM) ECD and the first generation
AXON(TM) video product and related accessories. The success of the
new X2 has led the Company to conclude that it will not sell through
its current level of X3 inventory even though the Company will
continue to sell and support the X3 product line. In addition, with
the launch of the AXON Flex(TM) video system this week, the Company
has also concluded that it will not sell through the existing levels
of first generation AXON video products and related accessories. The
$3.7 million write downs associated with inventory are recorded in
cost of sales, and impact gross margin. The remaining $2.0 million is
included in operating income.
-- Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2011 was 32.4%, compared to
51.7% in the same period last year. The deterioration of gross margin
was driven by the write down of excess inventory related to the X3 and
AXON product lines.
-- Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $10.1 million
in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased approximately $0.8 million
compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, as ongoing cost reduction
efforts were offset by an increase in legal costs.
-- Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased $0.5 million to
$2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 when compared to the fourth
quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to the
continued reduction in consulting costs.
-- Adjusted operating income, which excludes the impact of stock-based
compensation charges, depreciation and amortization, loss on write
down / disposal of property and equipment and excess inventory charges
associated with the X3 and first generation AXON video product, was
$1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. GAAP loss from operations
was $7.7 million for the quarter, compared to a loss from operations
of approximately $30,000 for the fourth quarter of 2010.
-- Adjusted operating income for the full year of 2011 was $11.5 million,
a $5.6 million, or a 94.5% increase from an adjusted operating income
of $5.9 million for the full year of 2010. GAAP loss from operations
was $11.4 million for the full year 2011 compared to a loss of from
operations of $5.1 million for the full year 2010.
-- Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $6.2 million, or a loss of
$0.11 per share on a basic and diluted basis. Net loss for the full
year of 2011 was $7.3 million, or a loss of $0.12 per share on a basic
and diluted basis.
-- The Company generated $17.3 million in cash from operating activities
in the full year of 2011, a $16.6 million increase over 2010. This is
approximately 19.2% of net sales for 2011. The Company generated $2.7
million of cash in the fourth quarter of 2011.
-- The Company repurchased $32.5 million, or approximately 7.5 million
shares, of its common stock during 2011 representing 11.9% of the
Company's outstanding common stock as of January 1, 2011. The
initiative to buy back shares was completed as of December 31, 2011.
Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $26.4 million at the end
of the fourth quarter of 2011 and the Company has no debt recorded on
its balance sheet.
Other significant events:
-- The Company announced a number of new orders for the new X2 product
during the fourth quarter, including:
-- The Chicago Police Department (IL) ordered 680 X2 ECDs with
extended warranties, 4,900 cartridges and related accessories.
-- An unnamed United States city customer ordered 250 X2s with
extended warranties, 1,750 cartridges and related accessories.

quarter of 2012.
-- The Company continued to generate traction for the TASER AXON
on-officer camera and EVIDENCE(TM).com management service as a
number of new agencies adopted the platform in the fourth quarter
including orders from Danville Police Department (VA), Manassas Park
Police Department (VA), Sibley Police Department (LA), Mountain View
Police Department (CA), Rialto Police Department (CA), and Rantoul
Police Department (IL). With the exception of the Danville and Rantoul
police department orders, the orders above were multiple deliverable
in nature, hence the revenue associated with these orders will begin
to be recognized in the first quarter of 2012 when all of the
deliverables are met. Further, in December 2011 the Company received
orders from the Wichita Police Department (KS), University of Central
Florida (FL) Police Department, Tonganoxie Police Department (KS) and
the Tieton Police Department (WA) for the AXON cameras and
EVIDENCE.com service totaling $176,000 in revenue that will be
recognized over one to three years. These orders shipped in the fourth
quarter of 2011.
-- The Company continues to see strong sales in established markets of
the X26 ECD product and associated accessories with significant orders
including:
-- The Pennsylvania State Police (PA) ordered 1,308 X26s with
extended warranties, 10,464 cartridges and related accessories.

(CO), ordered 350 X26s with extended warranties, 1,400 cartridges
and related accessories.

extended Digital Power Magazines.

X26s, 10 TASER CAM(TM) recorder units and 90,200 cartridges from
unnamed customers.
"In 2011, we continued to enhance our market leading positions in defense hardware, software and services offerings through the successful launch and early adoption of our new X2 product, strong momentum in our AXON and EVIDENCE.com offering, and a continued focus on building stronger customer relationships," commented Rick Smith, CEO of TASER International, Inc.
"The early success of the X2 ECD product is not only the result of our continued focus on innovation, but also the ongoing efforts to collaborate with our customers while focusing on making strategically sound investments. Due to the success of the X2 and the demand we are seeing for the recently launched AXON Flex system, we have taken actions to better position the company for future financial success by rationalizing several legacy product lines. While this action resulted in a one-time charge during the fourth quarter, it allows us further flexibility to manage our business in-line with customer demand and continue to position TASER for growth.
"Looking to 2012, we will continue to focus on cost and maintaining a flexible balance sheet that allows us to shift with market conditions and capture growth from the continued increasing demand we see for our products. Our pipeline of demand remains strong and we anticipate further penetration in the market for both our hardware and software service offerings."

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the Company's Statements of Operations presented in accordance with GAAP, we are presenting non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. We have presented these measures for our investors to be better able to compare our current results with those of previous periods and have shown a reconciliation of GAAP to the non-GAAP financial measures in the tables at the end of this release. These non-GAAP measures include the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, litigation judgment expense, asset impairment charges, loss on write down of Property and Equipment, and excess inventory charges associated with the TASER X3 ECD and first generation AXON Video product. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenses and expenditures that may not be indicative of our "recurring core business operating results," meaning our operating performance excluding non-cash charges, such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and other discrete non-cash charges that are infrequent in nature. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to our historical performance and liquidity.
Caution on Use of Non-GAAP Measures
As noted previously, these non-GAAP financial measures are not consistent with GAAP because they do not reflect the impact of other non-cash charges. Management believes investors will benefit from greater transparency in referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, management recognizes that:
-- these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and
should be considered only as a supplement to the Company's GAAP
financial measures;
-- these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's GAAP financial
measures;
-- these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be
superior to the Company's GAAP financial measures; and
-- these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with
GAAP and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial
measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a
comprehensive set of rules or principles.
Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. As such, this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the Company's results to the results of other companies.
A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or measures appears at the end of this press release.
